Kherington's 4th Birthday

Kherington had a pretty awesome birthday and I'm not sure how we'll ever top it.  We woke up extra early to get to Disneyland for magic hours.  The night before Kevin and I had walked down to a cute little French bakery (we were still in Fontainebleau) and got some pastries to leave in the car.  Kherington was so excited about her 'turtle shaped' treat.  I'm not sure why she called it that but she prefers the plain one over chocolate and the bakery had ginormous ones so we got her one of them.

At Disney we changed it up a little bit.  We rode dumbo a couple times, the teacups and small world (and had quite a few potty breaks).  Small world is always a huge hit.  Kherington especially loves this big pink bow found on one of the puppets.  I should probably note that by 9am Kherington wanted to go home (b/c I told her she had presents waiting for her there...big mistake).

We went over to Disney Studios for the Animagic perfomance and when we came out Donald and Daisey were meeting people but there were too many people crowded around so instead we went over to Slinky Dog.  After we had already gotten in line, Kherington decided she wanted to leave...but I'd already promised Kevin we could ride slinky dog.  We ended up staying...and the second we sat down on the ride (before it actually started), Kevin said he wanted to go too...kids.  We hit up McDonalds.  Kevin was asleep before we got there and Kherington was almost out but was in intent on getting apples, apple juice, chicken nuggest, fries and a toy.  This little girl knows her happy meals.  She fell asleep 5 minutes after we got it.  No worries, Kevin woke up and at the nuggest and fries and Kherington finished off the apples and juice.  Team work :).

When we walked in the door to you house, Kherington was so excited.  Her daddy had decorated and piled her presents nice and high :).  She got to pick one to open...the rest had to wait for daddy to get home.

This year she got some little play doll figurines (rapunzel, cinderella, strawberry shortcake), dogs in a purse (she had carried this around all over Target over Christmas...we packed back most the presents from our last US visit), princess mirror, little jeweled containers from Istanbul, a music CD and a couple other items.

We had gotten back around 4pm and I had forgotten about the cake until about 6pm. She had specifically asked for a pink castle cake.  This was my quick version of it.  Lots of flaws but I did it from start to finish in only 1.5 hours (mix, bake, cool, cut, stack, frost) and she thought it was awesome which is all that really matters.  For dinner she had frozen fish sticks and canned corn...so happy she went for it instead of the pizzeria I had promised her before I knew we were going to be out of town.

She got to open up her last present after dinner and cake.  She is such a happy little girl and had an amazing birthday.

She loves playing with friends.  She is speaking more and more French and has quite the accent...it's is very fun to hear her speak.  She will try pretty much any food.  She no longer wears diapers to bed.
